September Home Checklist: 11 Jobs Before the Clocks Go Back
Eleven September home maintenance jobs to finish before the clocks change on 25 October — heating, alarms, gutters, damp and lighting, and what each saves you.
The Free Home Maintenance App for UK Homeowners
Keep track of repairs, servicing, safety checks and paperwork for your home in one place. Home+ reminds you what is due, so small jobs never become expensive emergencies.
Free to use. No card needed. Built for UK homes.
Home maintenance is easy to forget until something breaks
Boilers need servicing, smoke alarms need testing, electrics need checking, and gutters need clearing. Most homeowners keep this in their head, in a drawer of receipts, or in a spreadsheet they stopped updating. Then a boiler fails in January, or a buyer's solicitor asks for a gas safety certificate you cannot find.
A home maintenance app gives every job, date and document one home. Home+ is a free app built for UK homeowners, so reminders and guidance follow UK rules and the UK calendar.

Built around UK homes and UK rules
UK homes are older and more varied than most. Home+ keeps UK requirements in view: annual gas safety checks for rented-out property, working smoke alarms on every floor, carbon monoxide alarms where there is a solid-fuel appliance, and electrical safety (EICR) inspections. Our guides explain what the rules mean for owner-occupiers.

Is Home+ really free?
Yes. Home+ is free for homeowners. We earn money when a homeowner asks for a trade and that trade pays to receive the request, so you never pay to use the app.
